Thanks to swalden28 for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a slightly hazy red-orange color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee and earth, with some orange citrus mixed in. The flavor is more of the same. I grt a lot of toffee and some cocoa, as well as some earth and orange. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

The bottle overflowed upon opening, and it was not shaken. Malt and sherry aroma, red and auburn in color. Again lots of brewer's yeast with this brand. Taste is smooth, chunky, malty and sweet with bit of bitterness. Aftertaste has something kind of skunky, could be the yeast. This was too expensive for what it is.

Pours an amber color with a thin white head. The aroma has sweet caramel and toasted malts, and a little fruit too. Flavor is sweet and malty with a somewhat bready taste and minimal hops. Medium bodied, solid mouthfeel. Not something I'd drink often, a little too sweet for me, but still a pretty decent Red Ale.

[email protected] brewpub. Under the name Paddys Irish red. Sweet nutty/toffee flavours with a watery texture, dont really like the style much, and this beer is no exception. Nothing much happening in the flavour or body department, pretty soft, smooth palate i guess.

Red, yes, but this beer is more of a thick orange-brown-red. The head blows up as I pour, but settles quickly. Eventually it's a smallish cap of orange-tinted tannish head, then a foam, and eventually that fades as well. There's some lacing left, but not a whole lot.
The aroma shows a sweet, bready malts backbone with yeast with a mix of caramel, toffee and dark fruits in the sweetness. A little bit of green tea is detectable in there, like in a tea-based energy drink, but natural.
This is a malty, malty beer, majorly bready with lots of yeast. Pumpernickel without any of the sourdough aspect is seems to be the foundation. It's got lots of toffee, caramel, and dark fruits, as in the nose, with an almost alcoholic aspect in that it's got the sweetness without the heat. The hops are there, light, underneath the malts, adding a bit more flavor with balance. There's a little spiciness in the front that gets lighter as it goes. The sweetness just gets a bit cloying, and this is a good beer otherwise.
The feel is good, rich and thick, full-bodied (especially for a red) with a bit of a crisp bite and plenty of smoothness.

A cloudy amber liquid gets topped with a one-finger tan head that melts to a ring of tiny bubbled lacing.
Aroma is toasted or burnt malt and caramel.
Taste is definitely the toasted malts with rich caramel and faint coffee in the background. Bitterness on the swallow comes more from the burnt malt, I think, than from hops. Hops seem to be missing in this brew.
Nice caramel chewiness going on after you swallow.

Pours a slightly cloudy ruby red with a medium head that disapates quickly and leaves no lacing. The smell is pretty strong and different. Vanilla, grape, sweet malt make this an interesting smelling beer. The taste is creamy and wine like. Sweet malt, some hops, and mostly dark fruit and grapes make this a very different red ale. The m/f is light with a combination of flavors that don't reallt go well together. Not horrible,but this just isn't my cup of tea. If you like very fruity beers this may be for you,otherwise try another Red Ale.

Bomber into a pint glass. Love the busy label without being too ostentatious. If I ever started a brewery I would be mirroring Moylan's for sure.

Appearance: Slightly hazy amber color with orange and copper highlights. Lots of bubbles floating to the top. Not much lacing, but the head keeps nicely above the glass at about 1/4" and recharges nicely with a swirl or two.

Smell: Caramel malts, sour fruits, some citrus with the more tangy side of cherries and granny smith apples, mild semi-sweet chocolate, and mild citrus hop bitterness. Balanced and complex, though still mild, which I like.

Taste: Initial grain flavors, with mild chocolate at the forefront, caramel malts, mild sour apples and citrus hop bitterness, which melds nicely with all the sweeter malt flavors. It could be more visceral and stronger, but nothing is really sacrificed since the balance is on point. Semi-dry finish with grains and malt sweetness dominating, finishing with caramel and chocolate undertones.

Drinkability: I really liked this version of the style, and I've yet to have a Moylan's brew which didn't impress me. I paid around $4 for the bomber, and at 6.5% ABV, the buzz is very euphoric and present at the end without the alcohol making itself known in the taste. And though it's complex, it's balanced and doesn't lean too far over to the malt side, which, for me, throws a lot of reds off-kilter and makes many too derivative. I could drink much more of this, and if it's ever in 6-packs I could see this being a nice staple for the spring.

Different but only liked it so-so. Dry barley with more sweetness than bitterness. Could not drink very much of this bomber. Reddish coloured body with one quarter inch of off-white retained head. A different aroma.A tad above average mouthfeel. Lace sheet.Fine for what it is.

Two fingers of red hued head with a copper body. Looks good in the tall glass.
Big barnyard smell, wet grain. Not bad, but a little different.
A dry malt/grain taste, mild bitterness. Barley dominates.
Crisp, medium body.
It's fine enough, but I'm not in love with it.

pours deep amber and copper. little head that gives way quickly to little retention.

very light and very sweet. scents of candied cherries and sweet malts.

very dominant barley and malt profile that has far more bite than the hops. hops are very light, slight bitterness. semi sweet malts just dominate and fight your taste buds.

fairly thin but the carbonation gives it some body with a little bite.

not a bad amber ale overall. i personally prefer more hop flavor as it balances out the amber malts. the flavors from the barley and malts however blended well for a smack you in the face flavor. this was a 22oz, can't see myself wanting to drink more back to back.

The caramel malt is predominant over the toasted malt just by a little. Not overly sweet because there is just a touch of alcohol in the flavor at the finish. Probably as good as it gets for an Irish Red but I have not had that many to give this one a 5.

The weakest point in this beer is the mouthfeel. The body is moderate but just lacks texture. Carbonation is a little high.

Great flavor and a nice drinker. The ABV and cost is a little high to make this a session beer. Recommend this highly for the style.

A- Poured a coppery amber color. Half finger white head shows light retention. Some light streaks of lace on the sides of the glass.

S- Holy vinegar Batman!!! Some light caramel malts along with toasted malts in the front of the beer quickly get swept into a malt vinegar like aroma that sticks long into the nose.

T- The aroma was more pleasing than the flavor. This starts off with some toasted malts that show a light caramel malt overtone to them. This is where the vinegar flavor starts to show up and turn into more of a malt vinegar by the time the alcohol comes in the backend. This beer had taken a horrible turn for the worst.

M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation was good for the style. Vinegar overtones are all that is on the palate and this lingers long into the aftertaste with a hint of alcohol to calm it down. Flavors were not balanced at all for the style. Off flavors are vinegar forward which I expected with how the flavor and aroma was. Light alcohol drying on the palate.

O- This beer was horrible. And to think this is a off bottle is laughable as I have had so many bottles from them that taste the exact same. I think QC needs to be looked at more indepth a little more.
